My name should be Patricia Ramona....

So my initials would be PR!! OH YEAH baby - I CRUSHED my best time for 5k!!! I just did 5k in the park (which has some slight hills) in 38 minutes!! That is a 12 minute mile! A 10 minute mile always sounded like a pipe dream to me - but now it feels TOTALLY attainable! I'm thinking I will be able to go that fast by the end of the summer! I can't believe how I'm improving! You know - I have ALWAYS been a competitive person, but I always sucked compared to everyone else. The awesome thing about running is that you only have to beat yourself! I LOVE that! I can't WAIT for race day!! Not long now!! Just a few more days!

So I have been kinda bummed that I can't find a technical shirt in my size (without paying through the nose). I was looking at Fred Meyer today and saw they have Under Armour in a men's shirt that would fit me. CRAZY expensive though. I can't WAIT to be able to walk into a clothing store and just buy something. I'm so sick of the hassle of finding the right size and fit and MOST of the time, the things I like are not available to me. It sucks hard. I don't get why they don't make more fitness clothes in plus size - you've got to start somewhere right? It's really annoying and kind of insulting really. Not all fat people are lazy. Know what I mean?

I have the same annoyance about fitness clothes. I'd love to get something from UA or Lululemon, but they don't carry plus sizes. Don't they realize a lot of plus size people are trying to lose weight and would love to wear something comfortable and lightweight? I'm sick of wearing heavy sweatpants and yoga pants.

I know it!! It drives me bonkers. I REALLY want a tech shirt to help with all the sweat. Yesterday I'm pretty sure I left a trail of sweat behind me like a slug! Luckily I can fit into XL pants now so I do have one pair of tech capris. Target goes up to 1x in shirts and I'm REALLY getting close to that. For now I'll just have to deal with all the sweat. UGH. I don't get it either. Oh and UA makes 2x in mens - what the hell?

Try TJ Max or Marshall's...I can fit into women's close but still prefer the men's cut. Nike dri fit tshirt was 12.99 versus 24.99 anywhere else. Their stock changes all the time so it's always a surprise.
